Print Clubbing

I'm partial to great print, not only do i love the smell (freshly printed glossy books- the best) but my flat is also adorned with cutesy euphemism sayings mostly in my favourite type of print- screen print. Why? cause they are made with love, there is a charm in their imperfections and they feel authentic, probably because they are.  So you can only imagine my excitement at coming across The Print Club in Hackney (they also have a shop in Shoreditch where you can buy heaps of cool ass prints) where they do workshops on screen printing for beginners.

I wasn't sure what to expect from the day. It was a bit like being back in art lessons at school, only with an appetite to actually learn and with hackney locals going about producing their own designs, scribbles and etches. The process is entirely hands on from learning how to bitmap your artwork and coating your screens with emulsion to loading the paint and screen printing your very own designs. Its harder than it looks but the potential to produce something amazing could be addictive.
